Reekado Banks has finally received the Hyundai SUV attached to his Headies ‘Next Rated’ award win, eight months after being awarded.

His case could be compared to Port Harcourt-born singer Mercy Chinwo, who won Nigerian Idol season 2 but didn’t receive her N7.5m recording contract even after 12-months.

a misunderstanding at the last edition of The Headies over the ‘Next
Rated Award’ on behalf of their protégés (Lil Kesh and Reekado,
respectively), which ended up being the big take from the award night
which was moved to New Year’s Day.
